Design and run a PM hiring loop that hires on judgment instead of polish: a scorecard written before any candidate exists, a structured interview loop with a work sample, blind-vote calibration, and a written decision. Use when a PM req opens, when a loop keeps advancing confident storytellers who underperform in the job, when interviewers disagree and the debate is settled by seniority, or when a senior hire is really a stage mismatch. Takes the ladder rung, the seat's scope, and the team's…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PM Hiring: scorecard first, candidate second The bad PM hire is rarely a mystery in hindsight: the rubric was written after the first impressive candidate, the interviews were conversations, and the debrief anchored on the most senior voice. Confident storytelling and framework fluency predict interview success and almost nothing else. This skill fixes the order: define the seat, write the scorecard, run the same structured loop for everyone, vote blind, then decide on evidence rows. ## Files this skill drives - [../../templates/execution/hiring-scorecard.md](../../templates/execution/hiring-scorecard.md), the scorecard, the loop, and the decision in one document - [../../templates/planning/first-90-days.md](../../templates/planning/first-90-days.md), which the hired person fills, seeded from the scorecard's outcomes - Reads: [../../knowledge/roles/ladder.md](../../knowledge/roles/ladder.md) for the rung, [../../knowledge/roles/specializations.md](../../knowledge/roles/specializations.md) for the terrain, [../../knowledge/roles/stage-shift.md](../../knowledge/roles/stage-shift.md) for the stage check …

How to install
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/pm-hiring@sha256:2d329302d57d8cf9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2bf6847, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
